There’s a good chance you’ve heard of chakras. They are the energy sources associated with places along the spine.
But you may be wondering, “What are they good for?” If you’ve ever asked that question, then you need Chakras for Beginners.
This book is jam packed with exercises and meditations that will allow you to balance out the energy in each of your chakras.
If you are down with this form then it will allow you to make better decisions (3rd chakra) and get more pleasure out of life (2nd chakra).
The other chakras can help you improve your communication skills, and overcome your fears. They’ll help you find your spiritual path in life and bring back the zip and zing which might have been missing.
Author David Pond explains how to do all of this in this very easy to follow offering. The thing is all of your chakras are working, but there’s a good chance they do not have balanced energy.
Through simple techniques and meditations, Pond shows you how you can add the Universal Energy to your own. You can then use this to balance the energy of each chakra.
When you do, your fears fall away. Decisions will be easier to make and you’ll feel able to make the right choices. You’ll learn to share the universal love, and be able to communicate better. And all of this will come from the simple exercises and meditations in this book!
It’s time that you find out the truth about the chakras. It’s about time you made use of them to improve your life. It’s your birthright! Take advantage of it. Get this book today and start improving your life right away.

Just the introduction I was looking for! by Beth Cholette (Upstate NY USA) Customers Rating: 
Customers Rating:
I have practiced yoga regularly for several years now, and this has led to an interest in exploring the chakras, the seven “energy centers” of the body. I was able to obtain some basic information online, but I wanted a book which would provide more details as well as exercises–hopefully incorporating yoga–which would focus on balancing the energy of the chakras. Happily, this book met my needs very well.
After offering an overview of the chakras and the importance of keeping them balance, author David Pond addresses each of the seven chakras individually. In particular, he describes both the balance and unbalanced perspectives of each chakra as well as offers several exercises both for connecting with that chakra and awakening the energy contained within. Some of the exercises do contain suggestions for yoga–i.e., performing tree pose to attain balance–but most of them are more meditative in nature.
In the second half of the book, Pond presents a selection of “Essays,” which are basically short chapters (2-3 pages on average) about the relationship between the chakras and other issues, including the ego, vows, negative energy, visualization, and other similar topics. I found this section to be less helpful, as here, Pond’s tendency towards new-age thinking (he is an astrologer by profession, after all) became a bit too much for my tastes. However, he concludes the book with additional exercises, meditations, and a chakra chart, all of which I found useful. All-in-all, this is a very nice introductory book about chakras which provides good basic information as well as easy-to-follow meditative exercises.
Excellent “for beginners” book! by Johnnatan Da Cruz (Venezuela) Customers Rating:
Customers Rating:
This book is simply excellent! It is written in an easy to understand language with some helpfull exercises and lot of notes that you can put in good use practicing yourself! I highly recommed it to any beginner or non-beginner that wishes to know a little bit more about Chakras, their balanced and unbalanced state, how to balance with trivial solutions (this solutions are so simple and plain that it is impossible to imagine that they actually work.. and let me tell that they work!). Short, Simple, and Rich in information is the best description of this Book!
For beginners only By E. M. Lawton Customers Rating:

For true beginners, I’m sure this has value. For anyone who has been doing yoga, the Kabbalah, whatever, for years, this book is old news. Very few exercises are included, and it’s too short to help anyone on a more advanced path, IMO.
